Core Heavyweight Balaclava
This a great balaclava. I wear it all the time on my hunt. Keep your face and head comfortable during my hunt. It does not block your vision. Best fitting mask I have worn.

I was in the Arctic
I was in the Arctic Circle. Had to switch to an old-school thick wool Balaclava due to cold and freezing condensation from my breath. But I imagine this product works well in less extreme temps.

Nice fit
It feels good, maybe a little big, but a little disappointed in that it is supposed to be "Heavyweight..." and yet it feels closer to early to mid winter. I am afraid that I will still need to bring my normal Balaclava to keep my head warm.

Unimpressed
This balacava is lightweight. With the optifade elevated 11 camo, I was under the impression, that sitka made this balacava to go with the fanatic system. It's good for 40 degrees or above and it doesn't block the wind. If your looking for a balacava to keep you warm, this isn't it, if your looking for a balacava to match your fanatic system, then this will work.

Good mask
I thought this would be heavier. I did layer it with some lighter stuff I have and the neck gaiter. It seemed to cut wind well and did not inhibit my hearing. It did not fit tight either. Some masks I have had fit tight and give me headaches, not the case with this one.

Needs to be warmer as a heavy weight
It needs breathing holes so it does fog up your gun scope when you are ready to shoot as well as fogging up your binoculars.

Heavy balaclava
Has a specific purpose, but hoe is comfortable, doesn't cut off my eyes, isn't to small or large and droopy, good fit same as the light weight bought both for treestand. Can still hear well through both, well made. Like the neck length. I'm a working stiff and can't afford to spend my money to look cool with some Sitka gear. I try to buy when having a sale, but you get what you pay for yet to be disappointed with anything I've purchased from Sitka to date
